It may depend on the type of surgery? Is the PA always first assist? Or are there residents involved too?
PA is first assist. No residents. Mostly GYN surgeries. Robotic, laparoscopic and open. And then c-section as well
Why don’t you ask your billing dept to give you what they are billing for you? I’m in the process of acquiring this for myself from mine. I’m not surgery. But interested.
It was my understanding at least in CA that hospitals are not allowed to bill for an assist if they provide. PA’s can bill but have heard not all insurances will cover an assist.
